Always try to talk through a situation before escalating it. Just remember that there isn't always a peaceful solution to everything.
Dear Journal,
Somehow the two of us made it through that mess! We awoke back on Derpy's couch, none the worse for wear! I gotta say, Derpy was a completely different mare after that! She was almost... normal, I suppose. I really don't blame her for her behavior before, as a lifetime of betrayal and neglect can have that effect on anyone! In my opinion, getting that weight off her shoulders was holding her down and keeping her from moving forward.
Dear Diary,
I... hurt someone today for the first time. It was not a good feeling! I had thought it would be nice to make her suffer... make her bleed a little bit. How wrong I was! The tail in my talons... it... it was still warm! Every so often it would move too! Even though I was sickened by it, I couldn't bring myself to let go!
Dear Journal,
Never thought I'd see Natalya in Griffon's Gate. Or that she'd be traveling with a Lord of Equestria! Lord Arc really is an interesting... whatever he is. That and I'm grateful he was there to help my friends when they needed it! Without his intervention they probably wouldn't have made it! ANY of them!
Dear Diary,
My friends and I went to the Canterlot Library today in hopes of finding a book that would help us rescue Arc! I also scheduled a meeting with the princesses to confess my wrongdoings. Hopefully they will defer any sentence against me until after we’ve gotten Arc out of Tartarus!
Dear Journal,
Ember told me a while back she’s been writing down her thoughts into a diary. I thought now is as good enough a time as any to start doing the same! Not an official record. But just something to… remind me of these times someday far down the road. That is… if we live that long.
I've decided to start a journal here. A friend has been trying to get me to start one for a while, and after reading a journal style fanfic, I finally have motivation to try. It will be in reverse chronological order, with the most recent entries at the top. It may at times run NSFW, but should never be explicit. Although you are welcome to read it, this is more for my benefit then other peoples. I'm sorry if that sounds selfish, but there it is.
Dear Diary,
Today was... interesting, to say the least. I... I made some terrible mistakes and may have made a very wrong verdict in a serious case! One Trixie Lulamoon was accused of many, MANY crimes by one of my closest friends, Captain Decimus! However, Arc seemed to think many of the crimes didn't happen or should be dropped entirely! Seeing as he was the one who arrested her, this is quite surprising! What goes through his head, I don't understand!
Report,
While I was at Shelly’s Kitchen getting a little something for breakfast, Jackal and Snake walked in. Looks like there were trying to get a free breakfast. I’d have run them in, if they wouldn’t have been released in an hour or so by an official order from the feds!
Journal Date: 12/2 - 12/8
This is a journal I've been thinking about for a while. I've just been so distracted with actually being productive that I've been putting off writing it.
Dear Diary,
Well, it looks like Lord Arc did it! While I don’t know exactly what happened inside those huge gates, I can only imagine it must have been intense! Maybe later I can ask Captain Tight Ship or somepony else on the bridge. They were watching the action very closely, I’m sure!
Dear Journal,
Today's the day! I'm moving out of Twilight's library and into a place I saw advertised on the Writ Board. I knew she would take it kinda hard, but she may have gone a bit overboard! To be completely honest, I almost called the whole thing off when she started crying. While I know she's just worried about me, I can't stay there forever! These past couple months, I was able to save quite a few bits and it's time I left the proverbial nest!
Dear Diary,
The Lord Regent… Arc… came to Cherry Hill Ranch today. Ruby seemed especially angry to see him! Apparently, there’s some kind of extreme need for food across the sea. He… he came here to buy our cherry reserves to feed them! Mother and father would certainly not stand for such things! But… I can’t just stand by and let others die, can I?!
Dear Journal,
The strange creature my brother Kane spoke of some time ago came to our village today while I was away training. His scent is... foreign to me, as it was to the Matriarch. For the safety of all, she ordered him tested. Besting some of our strongest with relative ease, he decided to speak with mother.
